These are some of the commonest reptiles I see as a carer. They are commonly found around Brisbane, and most people are familiar with their appearance, though not necessarily their names.

Eastern long-necked turtle
Chelodina longicollis
This is a very commonly encountered species. It can often be found crossing roads at night. It is here that it can get into trouble. Shell fractures are one of the most common reason for presentation to a vet. Fortunately, if found earlier, they have a good chance of survival.
